I knew London musicals were top-notch (I saw "Matilda" a few years ago—it was fantastic), but this time, with "Moulin Rouge," my daughter and I had an absolutely wonderful time: the music, choreography, sets, and lighting (sublime—the “Absinthe” scene is absolutely magnificent!), the actors and actresses, who act just as well as they sing, and even the theater itself, which fits this Moulin Rouge perfectly (it feels just like the real thing!). As a huge fan of Baz Luhrmann, I recommend it to everyone. We had VERY good seats, rows 18 and 19, but unfortunately there was a tall, lanky guy in front of me... My neck is a little stiff, but what a night!! A MUST-SEE!

For my first experience at the theatre, I genuinely enjoyed every moment from beginning to end. From the instant I took my seat and waited in anticipation for the show to start, I was already captivated by the atmosphere and the sense of excitement in the room. That initial feeling only grew stronger once the performance began, completely exceeding my expectations. The entire production was outstanding. The music was powerful, the live band added incredible depth, and the singing and dancing were both energetic and beautifully executed. Every element came together seamlessly, creating an unforgettable experience that left a lasting impression.

Moulin Rouge is not just a show — it’s pure magic brought to life through music, movement, and light. From the very first moment, it pulls you in completely: flawless choreography, incredible energy, and a visual spectacle that truly takes your breath away. Every detail — the costumes, the lighting, the rhythm — is crafted to perfection. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you long after the curtain falls. If you’re in London, it’s simply a must-see.

A magical experience... I loved the movie and Moulin Rouge! show reminded me of: freedom, beauty, truth and love :) Since the film premiered in 2001 I was a bit worried how it "grew old", but an amazing score brought the story up to date. Lady Gaga (and other songs) are a perfect fit and big congratulations to all the cast and crew, especially Satine, what an amazing voice. A magical experience, a magical evening, a magical show :)

Everything was magical—from the sets and the music to the actors. The atmosphere was electric, and the set design was simply incredible. What more can I say? We had a wonderful evening; even my partner, who isn’t usually a fan of musicals, was speechless. Though he did hum along the whole time. This is a show that the whole family will undoubtedly love.
